Sara Bareilles was very good. The place was full, mostly of people around my age – looks like I finally fell into an appropriate slice of popular culture – though skewed towards women, I guess not surprisingly. Of the guys there, it seemed divided between those dragged out by their girlfriends and willing to stand… Read more
No news of note to report. I’m still considering travel options… Egypt would be great except I can’t find any way to get to Melbourne from there that isn’t ridiculously expensive (cheapest thus far is $3,600, for that single, one-way leg of the trip).

Also, Netflix randomly informed me a week or so ago that there’s actually a Hogfather movie. Sweet! I watched it yesterday, and was pretty impressed – it wasn’t flawless, but it was well done, and it carried over to the new medium the characters and humour pretty well – at least, as well as it… Read more
